But now you know it's not magic :) Maybe the problem is not that you don't need a mapping layer, but because ORMs are obscure. And maybe they are obscure not because SQL is such a cursed spot, but because object-oriented programming ITSELF drift toward obscurity and magic. Don't you get the same feeling of obscurity about other libraries, e.g. web servers or clients? I often find the bare specs much clearer than (supposedly simplified) OO libraries that implement them. |

If you stick to using the ORM for what amounts to (mostly) just PODs, it's syntactic sugar that can really help readability.
